How Did You Know? - {day 1}

It's an all-new 5-day trivia hunt,
with an all-new set of puzzles, prizes, and collaborators!

In addition to the usual $100 and $50 gift certificates to our store for the first place winner and the random winner, we'll be giving away THREE 4GB flash drives, courtesy of our friends over @reddit.com. And these aren't just any old flash drives. They just might be the coolest, geekiest drives in the history of the world! (The alien paid me to say that, btw.) Everyone and anyone who submits answers this month, right or wrong, will be entered into a drawing to win one of the three. We'll pluck winners at random, so even the first place winner has a chance at scoring one of these babies. And even if you don't win, you should still pick up a few, as they make great gifts. Honestly. Go check them out right this way, and be sure to make the reddit alien a part of every day. If you're not a Fan of our Facebook page , be sure to add us so we can keep you updated, and you can get in on some pretty nifty clues throughout the week.

Josh Halbur is back in the house, the brilliant mind behind many of this month's puzzles. And we'll have some guest videos from some very special HDYK folk throughout the week, as well. Alirghty. Enough with the words. Let's get the Hunt on with this vid, created especially for us by the dude behind the alien, Alexis Ohanian. Once you've watched the vid, click below to move on to level two!

DID YOU KNOW? Marlon Brando hated memorizing lines so much that he posted cue cards everywhere to help him get through scenes.
He even asked for lines to be written on an actress's posterior. (That request was denied.)
